Another getaway to beautiful, small island Holbox. About two hours by car from Cancun and thirty minutes by ferry (with accompaniment of local musician, what was incredible experience). On the island you can move just only by the golf cart, almost all roads are made of sand. Let me take you there🌴🌴 #holbox#islaholbox#whitesand#beach#mexico#holiday

Stories from Isla de los Pajaros, Holbox, Mexico.
The old sailor said that flamingos find a partner for life. When the partner dies, the other dies of sadness and solitude within three days.
Albatross are different. We saw hundreds of them living in this small island together with lots of Mexican pelicans. The females have a white chest, the males are all black. Among hundreds, we could spot only four males. The old sailor confirmed that they were the only males for hundreds of females. He said “it’s the nature of the albatross”.
There was also a baby pelican on the island of only 15 days. It was crying. We learned that, three days before, it fell from the tree where it was resting. Since then, it likely did not get any food. Once the babies fall, the mother is not feeding them as they lose their odor and she cannot recognize them. The baby pelican must have realized that it did not get food because it fell and, somehow, after three days, it managed to climb the tree, hoping that the mother would see it and would feed it again. The mother was there, in front of its baby, impassive, as if it could not have heard its baby crying for hunger for three days. #mexico#holbox#love#pajaros#sailor#stories#picoftheday#vacation

There are a few things, about three things to my count that I am thankful for each day. 🙏🏻
.
* I need something to look up to
* Something to look forward to
* Someone to chase.
.
Now first off I want to thank God, because that’s who I look up to. He has graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or of any human hand.
.
. ☝🏼 To my family, that’s who and what I look forward to. To my Father who I know he is up there right now with a big pot of gumbo. To you Dad, you taught me what it means to be a man.👴🏻
.
To my Mother, who taught me and my two younger brothers, that we respect ourselves. And what we in turn learned was that we were better able to respect others. Thank you for that Mama.👧🏻
.
And to my hero, that’s who I chase. My hero is always the best version of myself, always 10 years away. I’m never going to beat my hero. And that’s just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.🙌🏼 .
.
So, to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever that is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we are chasing to that I say amen.
.
👏🏻 Con amor desde la bicicleta.
